Services
Timing Pulleys
We manufacture and supply precision timing pulleys in standard and custom configurations. Our range includes tooth profiles from 2.5mm to 14mm pitch, including HTD, Poly Chain/GTR, and AT series. With bore capacities from 6mm to 230mm, we accommodate diverse industrial applications while maintaining strict dimensional tolerances.
Couplings
Our comprehensive coupling solutions include steel, zero backlash, rigid, and offset designs. We stock over 555,000Nm capacity gear couplings and 336,000Nm grid couplings. Specialized options include Lovejoy jaw couplings and stainless steel universal joints for demanding environments.
Bore & Key Services
Our workshop performs precision boring and keyway cutting for standard and non-standard requirements. Capable of handling bores from 6mm to 230mm diameter, we accommodate urgent production runs and single-component modifications with rapid turnaround times for critical machinery repairs.
Anti Vibration Mounts
Tecnidea anti-vibration mounts provide effective damping solutions for industrial equipment. These mounts reduce vibration transmission in applications like shaker beds, screening machines, and large oscillating systems, protecting equipment and extending service life through engineered elastomeric isolation.
Workshop Machining
Our full-service engineering workshop handles urgent production runs and custom modifications. Capabilities include machining power transmission components, adapting customer-owned equipment, and producing made-to-order parts with 1-2 day turnaround times for standard industrial applications.
